Welcome to Litsy!

An amazing journey through the thriving worlds of fantasy and gaming What could one man find if he embarked on a journey through fantasy world after fantasy world? In an enthralling blend of travelogue, pop culture analysis, and memoir, forty-year-old former D&D addict Ethan Gilsdorf crisscrosses America, the world, and other worlds�from Boston to New Zealand, and Planet Earth to the realm of Aggramar. �For anyone who has ever spent time within imaginary realms, the book will speak volumes. For those who have not, it will educate and enlighten.� �Wired.com �Gandalf's got nothing on Ethan Gilsdorf, except for maybe the monster white beard. In his new book, Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks, Gilsdorf . . . offers an epic quest for reality within a realm of magic.� �Boston Globe �Imagine this: Lord of the Rings meets Jack Kerouac's On the Road.� �National Public Radio's �Around and About� �What does it mean to be a geek? . . . Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks tackles that question with strength and dexterity. . . . part personal odyssey, part medieval mid-life crisis, and part wide-ranging survey of all things freaky and geeky . . . playful . . . funny and poignant. . . . It's a fun ride and it poses a question that goes to the very heart of fantasy, namely: What does the urge to become someone else tell us about ourselves?� �Huffington Post
